    fun season, sad it’s over. Good to end with a win and thrilled with 41 wins

    play-in next year for sure

  2. bkuuretsu

    This is a good, honest .500 basketball team. We play .500 ball goddammit. Salt of the earth, punch the clock, even win/loss ratio basketball. We lose a couple, guess what? We’ll win a couple, too. But don’t get too excited or let it go to your head. No long winning streaks here, no sir. That’s hubris, which this blue collar, hard working everyman team doesn’t have. A few wins in a row, these guys, true to form, will balance it out with a couple a losses.

    Yes sir, that’s my 2023-2024 Houston Rockets. A good, honest .500 basketball team. ![img](emote|t5_2rnac|50195)

  3. we’re back to 500 and the mavs get blown out by 40, love to see it

    now all we need is the clips to send home the mavs to cap off the season

  4. f4stEddie

    Im happy for the rockets season. I said I was going to hold them accountable and they did us proud in my opinion. We finished .500 , we were close to the playin and gave warriors a run for their money. Next season is going to be insane in my opinion, a healthy Steven Adams , healthy Alpi and healthy Tari. LFG

  5. WuziMuzik

    Ok solid finish, good season. So… Who are the tallest most athletic centers and best 3&D players in the draft?

  6. Pizzachomper874

    Fantastic season, wish we’d have made the play-in but there’s the motivation for next season.

    Plus, if the Jazz squeak it out against GSW, the Nets pick goes up a spot (tied for 8th, rather than 9th)!

  7. so proud of ime and the boys for an incredible season

  8. bkuuretsu

    ALSO AMEN TRIPLE DOUBLE

    SO QUIET NO ONE’S EVEN NOTICED IT

  9. twat_swat22

    Ok Amen… I give in & am now a believer

  10. .500 and a +19 win total from last year, great year

  11. now it’s time to root for the beard in the playoffs !!!

  12. fun season. can’t wait to see what the team looks like in october.

  13. WE HAVE THE BEST YOUNG CORE OUT THERE.
    AMEN CONVINCED ME SO MUCH! ID TAKE HIM OVER WEMY EVERY DAY! MR TRIPLE DOUBLE WILL HAVE AN INSANE SOPHMORE SEASON.
    SENGUN IS COMING BACK WITH A VENGEANCE!!!!
    CAM WITH 5 ASSISTS!? GROWING SO MUCH THESE PAST GAMES I FEEL LIKE SUCH A PROUD PARENT! HES MY FAV AND I CANNOT WAIT TO DO THIS AGAIN WITH YOU GUYS AND NO ONE ELSE NEXT YEAR!!!!!!! ALL OF YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL OFFSEASON!!!!!

  14. inshamblesx

    up and down season but i had lots of fun vs how the last 2 seasons looked

  15. Happy with how the season ended, .500 is a great progress from the previous seasons. We have a real team and a real coach now.

    But next season is the real challenge, we MUST become a better team and make the playoffs. I don’t expect a championship obviously, but losing time is over, if we don’t make the playoffs (or at least the Play-ins) I will consider the season a total failure.

  16. Did_I_day

    Any other year we would be a play-in contender, 0.500 babyyy

  17. TaxLawKingGA

    Great season. Proud of this team. I predicted 32 to 36 wins, so 41 wins exceeds my expectations by a lot. Of course I would have liked to make the PIT, but that was always a reach.

    Looking forward to next season. I just hope we don’t do anything stupid to ruin the chemistry (other than getting rid of Brooks and FVV).

  18. Wasn’t able to watch the full game, was Jalen benched?

  19. Equipment_After

    I was expecting 32-35 wins this season. Rockets defied my expectation. Good season guys let’s go for play-offs next season.

  20. NutNougat

    Fun way to end the season! If you guys tell me that we will be at .500, or fighting for the play-ins near the end, I’d say you’re lying. Glad to see meaningful improvements in all our guys. And this is just year 1 under our new coach folks.

    Next year, I believe the team brings it all together and should be fighting in the post season. Exciting future that the team has. Thank you Rockets.

  21. MugiMartin

    I hope next year is the year when they finally break through to the postseason. Let’s see what they do this offseason.

  22. baby_yoda_hunta

    Guys how good is it to win 41 games after tanking for 3 years!! 50 wins next year?

  23. BJNT92281

    Exceeded my expectations of 35 wins. If Alpy doesn’t get hurt we probably make the play-in. Jalen turned a corner the second half of the season. Now let’s see him do it for a full season. Amen and Cam got better as the season went along. I’m expecting them to be challenging for starting spots next year. Fred, Dillon and Jeff were great veteran additions. I expect Stone and Udoka to make some serious tweaks during the offseason. Would be nice if that Nets pick ends up number one. But this team should be a playoff not play-in team next year.
